<p>From what I have gleaned, Visitas will be April 20-22. Apparently, Harvard learned from last year’s debacle NOT to have it the same weekend as Yardfest (which will be the weekend before). Yardfest is the weekend when everyone gets trashed and a bad band plays in the Yard, so some genius decided that this would be a good introduction to prospective freshman. From what my son heard from some of his younger friends (S graduated in 2011), it was embarrassing, and many of the comments from last year’s prospective freshman and parents echoed that sentiment.</p>
